Summary: Kevin Maley
Review: This book is chock full of activities for management training and development, which is my function at my company. I use this book (for 2 years) extensively and consider it a pearl.

Our company also uses a great book that is required reading for our managers in their development program. I recommend it because it is easy to understand and simple for your trainees to use: "The Leader's Guide: 15 Essential Skills."

Summary: Okay but overpriced
Review: This handbook had some decent activities and questionnaires. There was a lot of repetition for the activities, however, with similar sections for participants and facilitators in each. So, instead of having 250+ pages of novel material there is maybe 50 pages.

There were four or five self-reflection questions in many of the activities that seemed fairly commonsense. I guess I was hoping for more thought and emotion-provoking material. For the price I expected more. This handbook would be a good value if it was not quite as expensive.
